chisholm goes to washington. we need to have a fight with anybody who's going to get in the way of our agenda. that's what we saw the hispanic community do and one community that i novel at was the lgbt community. they came with an agenda. if you got in their way, they ran commercials, they ran commercials in your district, they sent out mail in your district. they did everything possible to show that you are an enemy to them and people fell in line. nobody said anything. because we all know that the politicians that we deal with, they're affected by polls. they're affected by public opinion. so if we are that public that provides that opinion, then we need to have an agenda so our opinion can be educated. >> very good. so we are at the end of our program. thank you all for being here. thank you for this great audience.
